New range of inductive conductivity sensors
ProMinent Fluid Controls has launched a new range of inductive conductivity sensors for the measurement of electrolytic conductivity in heavily soiled and/or aggressive fluids
The sensor operates at temperatures up to 70C, with full temperature compensation.
The maximum pressure rating is 8 bar at 40C and 1 bar at 70C.
As water evaporates in the water tower, the ICT1 measures the increasing salt concentration through the increasing conductivity.
When a preset upper level is reached, the Cool-Control system opens a valve and the water drained and fresh make-up water introduced until the conductivity drops to a preset lower level.
The Cool-Control system can be used for all water treatment processes involved in cooling towers including inhibitor dosing and biocide metering as well as desalination.
Cool-Control can accept a number of signal inputs and has several output control channels, as well as featuring an integral day/week timer and interlock facilities.
A clear display shows various process parameters.
The unit can also control calibrated pumps for dosing inhibitor using an input signal from, for example, a contact water meter.
Two independent biocide dosing pumps can also be controlled, usually on a timer basis.
